Lamar Jackson News
Thursday, July 16, 10:21 AM
Thanks largely to hamstring and back injuries that caused him to miss four games, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson put together an underwhelming season by his own lofty standards in 2025. Across 13 games, the 29-year-old threw for 2,549 yards and 21 touchdowns while rushing for 349 yards and two scores. After a QB1 finish in 2024, Jackson fell to QB16 in per-game scoring in 2025. Entering 2026, Jackson will be working with a new offensive coordinator in Declan Doyle and a revamped wide receiver corps that includes 2026 draftees Ja'Kobi Lane and Elijah Sarratt. As he enters his age-29 season, Baltimore may look to utilize Jackson's legs less often in order to keep him healthy. Even still, Jackson has proven he's the most dangerous dual-threat quarterback in fantasy football when Baltimore's offense is fully operational. With a new coaching staff around him, Jackson remains an elite dynasty asset.

Malik Willis News
Thursday, July 2, 5:14 AM
As part of a full offensive rebuild that saw them say goodbye to their head coach and playcaller, starting quarterback, and top two wide receivers, the Miami Dolphins signed former Packers backup quarterback Malik Willis to a three-year, $67.5 million contract and have since done a reasonable job of restocking what was at the time a fully barren pass-catching group. Miami spent five of its 13 2026 draft picks on receiver and tight end, and if Willis can keep the offense afloat in his first season at the helm, 2027 promises what looks to be a deep draft class and an outstanding group of potential free agents. Sharing a backfield with De'Von Achane, Willis could provide a usable fantasy floor in 2026 through checkdowns and his own rushing ability, having added an unreal 11.8 fantasy points per game with his legs in his last three starts. If Willis can make it to 2027 with a hold on the starting job, Miami could retool quickly, and his dynasty value could soar, making him a worthwhile investment at his current ranking of RotoBaller's QB25.
